Browser lag

[Kasey]

Just recently my ie explorer browser has been going very
slowly. Whenever I click in a search bar it always takes
about 10 seconds for what i wrote in the bar to show up,
another thing is that the scroll bar has been very slow
too, i will scroll down or up and it wont actually move
until about 5 secs later and the text on the page gets
kinda scrambled. Also if i have a window open in front of
the browser and i exit it, it will be stick in front of
the browser for a long time until it finally closes. Is
there anything i can do to correct this?

Can be the cause of some parasites.
IE 6.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.
